Teaching Kids to Code New research from institutions like Tufts University reveals learning to code delivers benefits beyond improvements in math and logic skills. For example, a recent study by Professor Marina Bers shows that reading comprehension in kids as young as five improves as students improve in their understanding of sequencing. This type of universal benefit from studying programming make it easy for parents to support the idea of ALL kids learning to code.
